Abstract:
      A rings R is defined to be a left SF-ring if all simple left R -modules are flat. It is known that von Neumann regular rings are SF-rings. But the question whether a left SF-ring is necessarily regular remains open. In this paper, we study the regularity of left SF-rings which satisfy certain additional conditions. It is proved that R is strongly regular if R is a left SF-ring whose maximal left (right) ideals are generalized weak ideals. Furthermore, we generalize some results in [3].
